Alexandra Park Race 6

CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX CHARITY DASH MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

TYTATE (4) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 18 metres into 12th at this track over 2200m. Ideally drawn and is sure to be there at the finish. THE JOLLY ROGER (5) impressed when fresh from a spell last time out when successful over 2200m at this track on 7/11/2025, getting home by 1.5 metres. Primary contender in a similar assignment. FINAL CHANGE (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 2200m at this track. BIG HERB (1) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 2200m at this track ten weeks ago. Fresh-up can place.
